In 2017, as a commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the advent of the iPhone, Apple launched the iPhone X, which opened the iPhone era of Liu Haiping.
At the same time, the Face ID function adopted for the first time on the iPhone X has brought a new way to unlock, which has attracted the industry to follow suit.
In this regard, the outside world speculates that Face ID may be the main direction of Apple's next decade.
With the outbreak of the epidemic, everyone wears a mask, resulting in a decline in the recognition efficiency of Face ID, and it is very inconvenient to unlock the iPhone.
Since iPhone X and later models are not equipped with Touch ID fingerprint unlocking, users can only use traditional passwords to unlock when wearing a mask.
As a result, many users are eager for fingerprint unlock to return on their flagship iPhone.
According to the latest news from the outside world, this wish may be disappointed.
According to the exclusive report of foreign media iDropNews, after multiple confirmations with relevant sources, it is now basically confirmed that Apple engineers are no longer developing the under-screen fingerprint recognition function for the iPhone.
Sources revealed that Apple has been developing the iPhone's under-screen fingerprint unlock function.
In January, Apple decided to transfer all of their Touch ID-related work and resources to the team responsible for developing Face ID.
This means that the development of the fingerprint function under the screen may be temporarily suspended.
As of now, apple's only iPhone SE model supports fingerprint recognition.
Xiaoguo boldly predicted that when the iPhone SE fully transitioned to a full-screen model, Touch ID would completely say goodbye to us.
In fact, this result is not surprising, Face ID since its birth, is to completely replace Touch ID and exist.
Apple is also constantly optimizing the experience of using Face ID.
In the iOS 15.4 beta released some time ago, Apple added the function of wearing a mask to unlock the iPhone for the first time, which basically solved the problem of unlocking the efficiency of Face ID under the epidemic.
At the same time, Apple has also optimized this feature in the newly released iOS 15.4 Beta 3.
When the user's line of sight is lower than the horizontal position, the iPhone will appear prompting the user to adjust the iPhone to improve unlock efficiency.
At present, Face ID will completely replace Touch ID as one of the technologies that Apple has vigorously promoted in the second decade.
In addition, iDropNews has sent us the latest news about the real full-screen iPhone.
According to the news, Apple will release a flagship iPhone that completely cancels bangs and adopts a true full-screen design.
According to Apple's naming rules, sources will call Apple's first true full-screen iPhone the iPhone 15 Pro, which is expected to be released in September 2023.
The bangs on the top of the iPhone have always been a mixed presence.
But regardless of its evaluation, Apple's ultimate goal must be the real full-screen iPhone.
If you want to completely cut off the bangs and achieve a real full screen, Apple must move the relevant elements that support Face ID to the bottom of the screen to achieve Face ID under the screen.
In fact, as early as January 2019, AMS released a new sensor technology that offered technical possibilities for this change.
AmS has developed a new sensor model, the TCS3701, based on an innovative package design technology that measures ambient light and distance under the OLED screen to achieve off-screen Face ID.
It is worth mentioning that AMS is a company that provides optical sensors for Apple's TrueDepth camera system.
Presumably, Apple can also approach the water and take the lead in solving the technical problems required to manufacture a real full-screen iPhone.
Judging from the news from the outside world, this year's iPhone 14 Pro will use a punched screen design, which may be an important step in Apple's transition to the true full-screen iPhone.
